Beta 1 icons first impression

Windows Vista Beta 1 contained 104 hi-resolution icons. When examining these high-resolution icons, you will notice that the general style used in Beta 1 icons is not uniform.
Some icons have no shadow, some have a 3D-like shadow, some have classic shadow pointing to bottom right corner, some to the bottom left corner.
Similar situation is with the reflection effects. Microsoft seems to still experiment with these effects and they will most probably
change the icons in the final Vista build and give them more uniform look and feel. Nevertheless, the high-resolution graphics are very impressive
and we are eager to see more of it in Beta 2 (planned for early 2006).
